Lyrics: In a place where there is no time to waste your mind In a place where the clouds roll back and you can see all you were meant to A mind constricted victim can only see as far as the eye sees And in time their mind will die and cease But in a place where there is no time to waste your mind And in a place where the clouds roll back and you can see all you were meant to With all that we have, when it comes to this: The wind and the waves crashing down Forcing cringing, terror, and sound that makes men shake from their heads to their souls A humbling waking sight resounds: a world with knees is found in silence Well here we are… we’re gonna sing, we’re gonna sing together Here we are… we’re gonna sing, we’re gonna sing together When lovers come together and love each other When killers tear apart and cut their brothers When mothers cry for a child through the night we’re gonna sing When fathers fall to their knees and pray for the world When the prideful die to themselves and fight for the rest When the shameful find their laugh and joy is bound When children laugh and sing and run and play we’re gonna sing When the world cries out for peace and something better we will sing So here we are… we’re gonna sing, we’re gonna sing together Here we are… we’re singing: Here we are… we’re gonna sing, we’re gonna sing together

Lyrics: Hope floats She wrote her song and sent it along with a kiss of love When gravity came and took everything down her song floated on Hope floated on with a kiss of love that could mend the broken Hope floated on with a kiss of love that could mend the broken hearts Hope floats Hope floats on Hope floats on… on over Hope floats away and on over

Lyrics: The fall seems harder the higher up you are Your bones feel colder the further down you are The ground feels softer when feet don’t travel far And home’s more friendly when the world’s not afar When the lights go dim the people quiet down For a time of resting or the fear in them When the sun is going down up ahead It’s coming up for someone over there The stars do not come out… people come out for them Though they don’t ask for our attention When you come home our child we will sing you your song And we will teach you the new with you dancing along When you come home our child will you sing us your song And teach us the new while we’re dancing along Come home our child we will sing you your song Then we’ll see you along as you run on and on So go on our child and sing them your song Go on and on and on

The List 04:58
Lyrics: All that’s left to do are the things that haven’t been done All that’s left to see are the things we haven’t seen All that’s left to touch are the things we have not touched All that’s left to talk about are the things we have not said All that’s left of me are the things I have not shared And that’s a lot of me… I’m guessing a lot of you too If we could come together and create a scene It would look something like no one had ever seen Come on you thinkers think, and you free writers write Let those who we automatically think are wrong have the possibility of being right And maybe we’ll find they’re a lot like us Let passion brew and let’s pour it out And pass it all around And then we’ll say: We’ll say that we can pull together Applying personality, creating poetry Oh something beautiful Thank God for the beautiful Shall we make a list of things to do, To see and touch, and to talk about We’ll do them all together, then check them off And then we’ll do them again There’s a world to inspire A world too full of hunger No we are not getting younger But we are most certainly alive

Abyss 06:17
Lyrics: Jump in with me Jump in with me, come on Let’s swim down there Let’s swim down there to the bottom of the sea In the depths of the abyss It is quiet and still An ancient city of light appears in this world of dark And out of the black, creatures of wonder and terror encircle us And their bodies of light float and dance, they dance and soar all around us And your eyes, they light up And I’m caught when your eyes light up When your eyes I’m caught when your eyes light up the dark We’re back on top of the world below us We’re back on top of the world below us Floating beneath another world above The great kingdom of lights We are floating between two worlds We are floating between two worlds Floating between two spaces, two worlds, the two of us Walk with me, come on Walk with me along the dirt and gravel roads Let’s climb up there barefoot to the top And watch out from the top where the stars come and the sun goes down

In Arms 04:36
Lyrics: Love in arms is rest and peace One in arms finds rest and peace With love in arms we’ll rise And one in arms can fight With love in arms we’ll rise With love in arms

Sheol's Wake 02:37
Lyrics: Whispers from demon crooks on a shipwrecked shore Hauntings and sightings from the black shores 40 days and long nights in her wake we wait… With sun-scorched and salt-dry lips we wait For wind Jack went rowing with the sun held high Said if hell was coming he’d rather die In the wake we waited for him to return But of the water’s unforgiving ways we have learned So we prayed For his soul To the one Who gave us our souls And we prayed: LORD save us Please send us Send us home Save us Save us Save us Oh father save us Carry us home Carry us LORD Carry us home Carry us on
